Hi mums, as a primary and secondary school teacher I am interested in what mumsnet mums think about your children being exposed to: drag queens reading stories to your little ones; political thoughts and ideas being given to young children which could cause confusion? Would like to hear your thoughts?
Many thanks.^^

HORRIFIED.
my DD's teacher told them some people change gender. They are 9. Should absolutely not be discussed in primary school

What do you teach that makes you a primary and secondary school teacher?

I am a primary school teacher and none of the above has been happening in my school.

Echoing this.

I also know of no other primary schools where either of these things are happening.

Not this again.

Totally opposed - drag is adult entertainment and is a highly sexualised parody of womanhood. I have yet to see an explanation of how children benefit from being exposed to it

I'm absolutely fine with drag queens reading stories to children. Nothing wrong with that. I don't care what people look like or how they dress.

But I do care about what is being pressed into the brains of impressionable young children who do not have the maturity to process what they are being told.

You seem to know a lot about it OP why don’t you tell us your thoughts? Or perhaps at least explain why you’re asking. You sound like a journalist or similar

Totally opposed to it. It's indoctrination of our children with an extremist ideology that has been shoehorned into public institutions by the back door. Its harmful to convince children they can change sex with no adverse consequences to themselves, and its harmful to normalise sexualised behaviour around children.

Primary school children are too young to be subjected to any political thoughts and ideas other than what is entirely impartial and in the National Curriculum.
